Protective Styles Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about care, timing, and choosing protective braid styles.

Protective styles can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the style, hair growth, and maintenance. Box braids and Ghana braids often last longer; gentle washing, nightly silk wrap, and avoiding heavy tension extend wear and protect the hair.

When installed with appropriate tension and by an experienced braider, protective styles should minimise damage. Over-tightening, prolonged wear without care, or improper removal can cause breakage, so we emphasise gentle techniques and proper aftercare.

Wash your scalp every one to two weeks using a diluted shampoo and focusing on the roots. Rinse thoroughly, condition the ends if needed, and ensure braids are fully dry to prevent mildew and maintain scalp health.

Yes—swimming and exercise are fine with protective styles. Rinse hair after chlorinated or salt water, tie braids up to reduce friction, and dry completely. Regular moisturizing and a post-swim care routine help preserve the style and hair health.

Prepare by washing, deep-conditioning, detangling, and trimming split ends. Start with clean, dry hair free of heavy oils to ensure a secure, long-lasting install. Mention any scalp sensitivities during your consultation for tailored care.

Time and cost vary by style, length, thickness, and complexity—appointments can take two to eight hours. We provide personalised quotes during consultations. Factors include extension type and add-ons; deposits and booking information are available at the salon.
